Seems the hiking bug is contagious! Well that is a bit of a stretch, but yesterday we had four of us walking at Blue Sky Reserve. Devonay encouraged her sister to come and La Vonne joined us as well. We left Blue Sky and headed to Poway Lake for a shorter walk because the ladies where not prepared for the grunt walk all the way up to Lake Ramona. It was a beautiful day, we actually walked from 1-3pm, which I normally would never do. But, being winter it isn't as hot, so it is doable. The lake was beautiful, glassy , with the clouds reflecting off the water a few swans, seagulls and a fisherman out in is boat. Nice views!
The rest of my day was hectic, crazy and no time to see straight, so the hike was my moment of peace! I'm still enjoying the feeling of getting my strength back. Each day I wake up with anticipation of how I will conquer the desire to eat anything and everything! It hasn't been to hard actually. I think that by taking the time to do all the hikes that I've been doing, really doesn't leave me time to hang out in the kitchen. Actually, I think Steve is getting ready for a few more regular meals. But I made a deal with him at the beginning, I let him pick one meal a day that he could fend for himself, that way it would give me time to get out and exercise as well as not eat 3 big meals a day. Steve picked breakfast, easy to make oatmeal, cereal or even toast and fresh fruit. Now I don't have to think about that one extra meal and I can grab a light breakfast, except yesterday's breakfast. It was Hope's first day back at Palomar, she had a 8 am class and I wanted her to leave the house with a good breakfast in her, so I cooked breakfast for everyone. I did forgo the toast and have fruit instead!
Today's Eats:
Breakfast - 1 slice bacon, 1 friend egg, 1/4 cantaloupe
Lunch - Rubio's Fish Taco and water (and a few of La Vonne's chips and beans)
After Hike Snack- 1 bag of nuts and dried fruit (210 calories)
Afternoon Craving!- 1 square of milk chocolate
Dinner - 1/2 Chipotle Burrito in a Bowl, 1 small slice of bread w/ butter
Dessert - 1 square of milk chocolate
Eat Right, Exercise and Give your Life to God!

Tough Beginning! The dreaded photo op!
Okay, first thing first, I had Steve take pictures of me in a tight shirt and shorts. That was hard, it became apparent right away I have been in denial for sometime. It is killing me to have to post them right here for all to see!!!
Next, I weighed myself, ah...umm...yeah... do I have to say? Honesty!! Okay, I weighed in at a whopping 164, ouch! I knew I should never have taken the scale out of my bathroom! But now everyone knows. It's all down hill form here, right?
Then I went and got my sewing measurement tape and started measuring the bod!
Neck -12"
Arms - 12.75
Breast - 41.50
Waist - 35
Tummy - 40.5
Butt - 41.5
Thigh - 23
No wonder I just sort of look like a tube, not much variation in the sizes.
My plan is to work really hard on taking the fat off the areas that don't need it and build up muscles where I do! So, how am I going to do this? First cut out calories, I'm not going to do anything drastic, but those mid-morning snacks and late afternoon snacks have got to be either removed or a better food choice to replace the junk food.
I want to post each day what I ate the day before, it might be a bit of a bore for some of you, but it will allow me to see where I'm cheating and hopefully some of you will join me in this and post your own stats and what your doing to get in shape.
It's 4pm and I'm a bit hungry, this is the hard time of day for me, I like to snack as I prepare dinner, so please when you think of me, send up a little prayer for me!
Till tomorrow, keep the Lord close!
